Luckily, the standards body that deals with leap seconds has said they’ll be discontinued by 2035

Did they figure out a way of making the earth spin more reliably per how the humans want it to?

If I remember correctly, they're updating the standards to allow for more deviation between UTC time and "actual time". They'll likely replace leap seconds with a leap minute that happens much less frequently, implemented by spreading it across the whole day, similar to the leap second workaround I mentioned.
